Incidents
- 15 April 2009, an Adlair flight was returning from Yellowknife to Cambridge Bay. The plane in the incident was a Beechcraft King Air. While about 180 km (110 mi) from the airport, and at 23,000 ft (7,000 m), one of the two passengers, a 20 year old male, became upset, opened the cabin door and jumped to his death. The aircraft landed in Cambridge Bay with the damaged door partially open and no injuries to the flight crew or the other passenger. An inquest has been called by Nunavut's chief coroner which will begin on December 7.
